Kottayam (Kerala) | Sixteen students were injured at a private college here on Friday when a temporary gallery, erected as part of the programme on the occasion of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's birth anniversary, collapsed, college sources said.
The incident occurred around 8.45 am, they added.
The injured included NCC and NSS students from various units who had come for the programme.
The gallery collapsed when the students were asked to stand on it to take a count of their numbers, the sources said.
